October 15th Humor

* After my friend James moved to Florida from Massachusetts, he immediately took advantage of the good fishing in the area. After assembling the gear that he’d use for freshwater fishing up north, he settled in a popular spot on the intercoastal waterway, attached his favorite lure to his line and cast it out. Within a minute he caught a beautiful 8 pound fish. The local fishermen gazing in admiration as James brought the big catch ashore and offered it to one of the spectators. Accepting with gratitude, the old man asked, “What kind of bait did you use  to land this beauty?” “My favorite silver spinner,” James responded proudly.  “No,” the old-timer exclaimed. “You can’t catch anything on that. You’ve got to use live shrimp.”

I was part of the crew on a very long commercial flight; we had on board an irate first-class passenger who could not be pleased.   “I’m going to have your job,” he finally exploded at one of the flight attendants. “Sir,” she replied politely, “you’re going to love it. You meet the nicest people.”

Walter and his wife Masie are shopping in their local supermarket. The husband picks up a case of Budweiser beer and puts it in their shopping cart. ‘What do you think you’re doing?’ asks Masie.  “They’re on sale, only $20 for 24 cans,” Walter replies. “Put them back, we can’t afford them,” demands the wife, and so they carry on shopping. A few aisles further on along Masie picks up a $40 jar of face cream and puts it in the basket. “What do you think you’re doing?” asks Walter. ‘It’s my face cream. It makes me look beautiful,’ replies the wife. Her husband retorts: “So does 24 cans of Bud and it’s half the price.”
